This letter is in regards to the wonderful oppoutunity Mr. Solomon Comissiong, President and Co Founder of SCMB Educational Consulting, shared with the community of Seattle Washington, during the month of May 2007.
There is a lot of conversation in this country, around the topic of Hip Hop. Some of it is positive; much of it is not positive. But what is clear is that our society is misinformed about the history, and the potential benefits of Hip Hop to our current generation. Mr. Comissiong gave many of us who work with youth, vital information, “tools” if you will, that will help us share and communicate more effectively with our youth regarding the topic of Hip Hop.
In my role with Seattle Public Schools, I work as our Education Advocate for Interagency Academy. Interagency Academy works with middle school and high school youth, in an alternative school setting. Many, but not all, are on parole and probation, as well as Special Education youth. The information Mr. Comissiong shares nationally, will allow our youth an opportunity to find validation in their talents, as they sift out the negative connotations associated with Hip Hop. The message Mr. Comissiong continues to share, will help our students find ways to express their concerns with the world, and develop possible solutions.
We appreciate the connection we have made with SCMB, and Mr. Comissiong, and are excited about the future possibilities in the upcoming 2007-08 school year. We extend our best to Mr. Comissiong, and to the continued success of SCMB Educational Consulting.
Sincerest Appreciation,
